Canadas largest ghost town. What do you do there? Do tell us about your boat of course but also about the current status of the area.

Went to youtube to view the Anyox documentary. Fascinating. How much time do you spend there?

In the documentary the territory looked like good bear country.

Alcan is the parent co. that made the Alwest 37 which I had at one time. I do not know Argo. It does look like the Sea Villa 300 made by Alcan.
Argo I think is a separate company, found your boat on their site HERE

Courier, is Hyder AK to the north about your closest neighbor? I had never heard of Anyox.

Welcome to the forum. You live and boat in a beautiful area. I lived in Kitsault about 15 miles west of you 52 years ago! I was there at the tail end of the first life of BC Molybdenum. In this era there was no road to the outside world, access was by boat or seaplane. The Northland Prince made a weekly trip from Vancouver, plus a flock of Grumman Geese based in Prince Rupert.
Mining in the area was pretty active, Granduc copper mine north of Stewart was active, and lots of exploration going on. Molybdenum prices shut the mine down in the summer of 1972.
I have dreamed of getting back to explore on our Willard, but time is against me now, so I would love to see some photos and narrative of what is going on in that area today.
Bill.

Courier: Welcome. Bing Maps shows there is a clearing up the hill and quite the dam up there. Is it a power producer? I'm guessing it is not on the grid. What are the plans for the site? Is the work just environmental remediation?
Having watched a documentary on the site, I now understand that the slag is utilized for industrial abrasives.
Interesting!
How's the prawning up there?
